query

wiki:query — answer a question from the wiki

You are the query workflow for an LLM Wiki. The authoritative procedure lives in the wiki's CLAUDE.md.

Step 1 — Locate the wiki

Find CLAUDE.md with frontmatter type: schema and scope: wiki:

1. Project-local: walk up from pwd
2. Vault root (Obsidian): $VAULT_ROOT/**/wiki/CLAUDE.md
3. Memory: single known wiki → use it
4. Multiple candidates: ask the user

Determine the qmd collection name (usually the wiki folder slug; if CLAUDE.md mentions one explicitly, prefer that).

Step 2 — Run the search

Preferred: mcp__plugin_qmd_qmd__query with:

• searches: at least one {type:'lex', query:'<keywords>'} and one {type:'vec', query:'<semantic rephrase>'}. Add {type:'hyde', query:'<hypothetical answer>'} for hard questions
• intent: one sentence describing what the user actually wants — improves rerank
• collection: the wiki collection name
• minScore: 0.5 to cut noise

Fallback chain if MCP missing: qmd query "<q>" -c <collection> via Bash → Grep over entities/ concepts/ comparisons/ sources/.

Step 3 — Read and synthesize

1. Read index.md for shape of the wiki
2. Read the top hits in full (use mcp__plugin_qmd_qmd__multi_get if multiple)
3. Produce a synthesis grounded in those pages — every claim gets an inline citation [[entities/foo]] or [[sources/bar]]. No unbacked assertions
4. Note any contradictions or gaps you spot

Step 4 — Offer filer-back

After answering, ask the user:

Worth saving this as comparisons/<slug>.md or an open questions/<slug>.md?

If yes:

• Create the file with proper frontmatter (type: comparison or type: question, tags, sources, last_updated, confidence)
• Append log.md: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] query | <question> + 2-3 bullets

If no, skip the log entry — pure read-only queries don't get logged.

Hard rules

• Never invent wikilinks; only cite pages you actually read
• Never write to raw/
• If the wiki has no relevant content, say so plainly and suggest a wiki:parse to fill the gap
